Chapter 8: Not Being a Concubine (2)
Wanyu's heart was also panicked, as Jin Yiyan said, they were not children who grew up in the capital, and before going out, the family told them to be careful when they spoke and did things outside, so as not to offend any powerful person without knowing it. It's good to stand up for Lan Yi in Pei's mansion, after all, it was also the first thing that those sisters picked up, and when they went outside, seeing that Lan Yi dared to beat people like this, the two sisters might be even more confused than Jin Yiyan.
Waiting for the people from Jinyufang to greet everyone to continue looking at the jewelry, and the scene was a little lively, Wan Yucai asked timidly: "Sister Lanyi, are we in trouble?" What should I do if this Miss Jin goes back to sue? At that time, the uncle-in-law will ask for the family law again. ”
Lan Yi put the abacus back in place, clapped his hands and said, "Don't be afraid, when they ask me, I have my own set of rhetoric." ”
Wanyu breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good to have a ...... to say"
"Is this a question of rhetoric or not?" Wan Yin had never had such a big temper, and lowered her face, "It's rare that the concubine didn't bother with Lan Yi, and she said that she liked Lan Yi, so we smeared her again, and when the time came, it was spread out, saying that Lan Yi was pampered and arrogant, and it should really make people disgusted!" ”
Wanyu felt that it was inappropriate, and she was tired of her sister's side, and whispered: "Sister, don't scold Sister Lanyi, the situation at that time, in order to save Ning Fu, it can only be like this." ”
Ning Fu's little face turned pale, and she held Lan Yi's wrist, "The girl is like this for me, if there is any punishment, I will take it on behalf of the girl." ”
Lan Yi shook his head and said lightly: "Jin Yiyan called just now, Ning Fu from the identity point of view, if she fights back, it will be even more troublesome, Jin Yiyan and I are the same people, if I beat her or she beats me, you can use the sentence 'little girls are playing with each other' to expose it." So I shot for the best. ”
Then she had to coax Wanyin, "Cousin, don't be angry, I know you're worried about me, but I can't say anything about the palace, maybe the concubine just likes me like this?" What she said herself, she won't swallow back. I took advantage of her saying that I was not bad, and shocked these trouble-seeking and ignorant little girls, just right. You don't know, in the past, I quarreled with Jin Yiyan, and I used my hands even harder. ”
"Alas, you let me say what you are good about. Everyone is beautiful, noisy and hands-on. ”
She adhered to Wanyin and sprinkled coquettishly, "People of the same age in Beijing know that Jin Yiyan and I are incompatible, and we have to fight when we meet." What's more, even if I don't enter the palace and have a father, I won't be unable to find a good family, and I'm not in a hurry. ”
Actually, there is a reason for this. At that time, Lan Yi was angry and had no place to vent, and he happened to be bumped into by Jin Yiyan - Concubine Ying was indeed a high-ranking concubine, and the second prince Wei Changyuan was indeed the most favorite prince of the emperor, but they wanted Lan Yi to enter the Qi Palace, but they all used the wrist of secret persecution, and never said that they would discuss it with Lan Yi's father.
The other party has a high status, but he doesn't even have the most basic respect, Lan Yi scoffed, and thought that since they were willing to let this wind go, it was better to take advantage of this east wind to make trouble again.
Wan Yin is the best person to be convinced, Lan Yi softly admitted her mistake, and promised that it was okay, she was awkward for a while, and she was reluctant to care about it in the end.
And all the women who picked up jewelry in the Golden Jade Workshop didn't know that this scene, in a very dramatic way, was seen by the two princes in a small cubicle on the second floor.
The ladies of the official family have a special "inside" selection, while the more important high-ranking officials and nobles have a more private place. In such a small room, the fine silver charcoal is burning, the warmth is like spring, the sixth prince Wei Changyin is wearing a cotton silk robe, and a white water jade is pressed on his waist, which is the common dress of the rich son, his eyes are very bright, and his long hair is high, and he looks very energetic.
At this time, with a little excitement, he closed the window on the side and said to the person opposite: "This girl from Master Pei's family is weird." I really haven't seen a famous lady who can smash people with an abacus, and she really wielded the demeanor of the black whirlwind Li Kui. ”
The tea cup was gently put down, and the eyebrows and eyes of the three princes, Wei Changjue, were as clear as ink landscape paintings, spreading out in the mist of the tea water curling and rising. His complexion is fair, his fingers are slender, he is dressed in a well-cut black brocade robe, his body is a little thin, the corners of his mouth are slightly hooked, elegant and warm, and the moonlight is windy.
Pei Lanyi ...... It's the person that the second brother has a crush on, and it's really extraordinary. ”
Wei Changyin said with a smile: "Their mother and son really tried their best to get involved with the officials of the six ministries. ”
"Her identity is excellent, not too high, not too low, her father's promotion is in front of me, if I am the second brother, I am willing to do such a profitable thing."
"It's a pity that this Miss Pei is a little straightforward, and she really takes Concubine Ying's words seriously." Wei Changyin likes smart women, and a sneer appeared on his face, "If today's incident is reported back to the palace, our Concubine Ying hears her words and the person she likes comes to such a thing through her name, I don't know if her face can still be hung up." ”
Wei Changjue said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid I can't say it, I really want to be honest, I know that I will marry my second brother as a side concubine, how can I be so expressionless?" or joy or refusal, ordinary official ladies should always show something the moment they hear the news. She was calm, as if she was thinking about something. ”
Wei Changyin is a person who can understand everything at all, and said tentatively: "I just want to say that such an honest person can just add to the blockage of Ying Guifei, why do you mean to say that third brother, in fact, this girl understands everything in her heart, but she deliberately uses Ying Guifei to make trouble?" Didn't she think that doing this would only make Concubine Ying annoy her. ”
"Maybe people just want this boredom?" Wei Changjue smiled faintly, after the smoke of tea, the meaning of the smile was not clear, "But these are all my guesses, there is no basis, this girl is really interesting, but unfortunately with the second brother's proud spring breeze now, and he has such a temperament, the position of the concubine of the Qi Palace's side concubine belongs to her." ”
Wei Changyin sighed, "I don't know if I can be so radiant after marrying the Qi Palace." ”
Lan Yi is just a little girl from a courtier's family for them after all, and it's just a matter of chatting, and Wei Changyin has a wicked smile on his face, mentioning another person, "Speaking of which, third brother, who was with the Pei family girl just now, that little girl from the Fang family, is it your sweetheart?" ”
Wei Changjue was stunned for a moment before asking, "You said Fang Wanyu?" ”
"yes, that's her." Wei Changyin inquired as if he were in the paddock, "Last time I was in the paddock, I saw the two of you talking in private, and she also gave you something, didn't she?" At the palace banquet after the fifth fell from the horse, I saw that the sachet tied around your waist didn't look like the craftsmanship of the embroidery lady in the palace, that was given by her, right? ”
Wei Changjue said helplessly: "The sachet was indeed given by her, but I didn't bring it deliberately for her, you know, almost all the people who followed me were arranged by Concubine Ying, and they didn't pay much attention to me, seeing that there was a sachet next to it, and it could be paired with jade, so I used it." I didn't pay much attention either. ”
"Then third brother, do you like her?"
Wei Changjue couldn't escape this questioning, and after thinking about it, he said: "I'm afraid Changjun's matter is not over yet, Concubine Ying will not let it go easily, and I'm afraid that there will be unexpected suppression methods to deal with me at that time." The haze is not topping, and I don't have the qualifications to pick someone I like or don't like as a concubine. Fang Wanyu was raised well by the Fang family, but she is not suitable to live with me, and being with me is harmful to her. ”
At the mention of Wei Changjun, the smile on Wei Changyin's face disappeared all at once, and he said indignantly: "Everyone's horses are the same, why are we fine, just him?" His kung fu is not good at the horse, but he fell to his death but relied on the third brother, which is really unreasonable. ”
Wei Changjue shook his head, "That's it, you are a person who likes to read, in the future, idle clouds and wild cranes, poetry as a companion, it is a beautiful thing, there is no need to mix with these, let alone express opinions on anything, if others know that we will be so close in private, and then meet the birthday of the queen mother in the future, I don't dare to call you to accompany me to choose jewelry." ”
Wei Changyin sighed, "For the death of the fifth child, all the people in the palace surrounded Concubine Ying, and no one even mentioned the birthday of the queen mother." But the queen mother is obviously the wife of her father, and she is the only queen in the world! ”
Wei Changjue is used to the general, "It doesn't matter, even if there is a banquet in previous years, all the palace people have to look at Ying Guifei's face, the queen mother doesn't like that kind of occasion, why don't I buy a few pieces of jewelry to make her happy." ”
The things in Jinyufang have been so good for many years, and Wei Changyin's vision is good, but in less than half an hour, he helped choose a lot of things that can be worthy of the queen.
When the princes came to this kind of place, they naturally had a hidden road that they had already inquired about, and later the two of them went back to the palace and took this kind of road, because they did not delay, just in time for the emperor to let the other princes go to mourn, and when they met Pei Lan and Fang Wanyin, they were left behind by Wei Changjue.
Let's say that Lan Yi is here, the three of them have experienced what happened just now, and they are not in much mood to choose carefully, and finally they saw a few fashionable things, let the people of Jinyufang wrap them up, pay the bill and let the maids take it, and then came out and got into the carriage.
didn't talk much along the way, and when she walked through the lively market, Wanyu quietly opened the curtain a crack, and after looking at it twice, she was told by Wanyin not to show her face and make trouble again.
Wan Yu muttered unhappily, "Sister is just too careful." In fact, Sister Lan Yi is the one who grew up in this capital, she said it's okay, it's definitely okay. ”
Wan Yin frowned and sighed: "There are such two uneasy girls, what can I do." ”
Lan Wanyu really didn't think it was interesting, so she whispered: "You don't care quietly, there are many shops in the capital that are much older than us, and I will tell you the story of a dress-making lady in their shop when I pass by the silk shop where the colored satin floats in the air." ”
